Capacity Analysis of Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities
Recommended Procedures for the "Pedestrians" Chapter of the Highway Capacity Manual
Source: Federal Highway Administration
The objective of this project is to develop revised operational analysis procedures for transportation facilities with pedestrian and bicyclist users. This document contains both new and revised procedures for analyzing various types of exclusive and mixed-use pedestrian facilities. These procedures are recommended to determine the level of service for
pedestrian facilities on the basis of a summary of available U.S. and international literature, as described in the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) document, "Literature Synthesis for Chapter 13, Pedestrians, of the Highway Capacity Manual," by these same authors. These procedures are scheduled for incorporation into a revised U.S. Highway Capacity Manual in 2000.
In addition to this report, there were two additional reports produced as part of this effort on Capacity Analysis of Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities. These reports are subtitled as:
1) Recommeded Procedures for the "Bicycles" Chapter of the Highway Capacity Manual (FHWA-RD-98-108)
2) Recommended Procedures for the "Signalized Intersection" Chapter of the Highway Capacity Manual (FHWA-RD-98-106)
